The character
Vala
A scavenger who ended up somewhere she shouldn't have been, Vala was sold to the Hutts and made to fight in the arena for their entertainment. Muscled, mean-eyed and fearless, she now leads the escapees through the forest.
However many horrors she has seen, she looks after her people. And she has no intention of ever going back.
